adding a file at publish time

Question

I completed my winform application.

I want to add a csv file. So my application will reach with this path.

How can I get published locastion's path?

Do you want to do this as an embedded resource or do you want to want to include this as content with your executable? — Conrad Frix, Nov 23 '11 at 08:21

I think you mean following with published locations:

Environment.CurrentDirectory
Environment.GetFolderPath(...)

with one of following parameter

SpecialFolder.ApplicationData
SpecialFolder.Desktop
...

etc.

+1 but watch out for currentdirectory, file dialogs [can change it](http://stackoverflow.com/q/2049126/119477) – Conrad Frix Nov 23 '11 at 10:47

If you programmatically want to get your form's execution path to access your CSV, use

string path = (new System.Uri(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase)).AbsolutePath; inside your form.

and then Path.Combine(path, CSVFilename);
